Two for the Dough revisited

Ten years after publication i decided to reread "Two for the Dough.". I found reading this entertaining book was like visiting with an old and humorous old friend.,

Stephanie Plum is still at work pursuing her career as a bail jumper.while dreaming of romance and wealth. She is on the trail of Kenny Mancuso, a bail jumper from Stephanie's area or berg as locations in the Trenton New Jersey are referred to.

Kenny has recently left the army and is accused of shooting his best friend.

Ranger is Stephanie's bounter hunter pal who occasionally steps in to pull her out of a jam. He's a more experienced bounty jumper who adds his knowledge to the hunt as does Stephanie's pistol packing grandma who reminds me of "granny" from the Beverly Hillbillies.

The story is good fun and adds a love interest Stephanie's love interest of Joe Morelli.

I've read almost all of the books in this series (I think I only lack the last one or two). I loved them in the beginning, but they've gotten stale for me. I wish Stephanie would "grow up" and make some decisions in her life! Of course I'm still reading them, though. I keep thinking it will eventually wrap up.
